"He has a history of intimidation which is evident in the testimony of officer Fountain and other witnesses whom he wanted to give false testimony to grand jury," the judge said. "I order that Mr. Kilpatrick and Mr. Ferguson be remanded to the U.S. Marshals for detention."

Kilpatrick's defense team wants a hearing to request bond but the U.S. Attorney says the request should be denied because "(Kilpatrick) is simply rehashing the issues he previously presented to the Court without showing a "palpable defect" in which the Court was previously misled, nor one which if corrected would result in a different decision."

Kilpatrick's own mother, Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, has gone to battle for her son's release from prison. She offered her Detroit house up as collateral to ensure her son returned to court for his sentencing. A date for that sentencing has not been set.

Kilpatrick will have to wait for the judge's ruling on whether he gets a bond hearing.
